Calm,cool,and collected
Thats just the road I selected,
Taking it one day at a time,
Breaking my back for barely a dime,
Though Im still getting by,
With the sweat running down my face and into my eye,
Not having alot but just enough,
Portraying I have what it takes to be tough,
Complaining on selective occasions,
Motivation still strong from mental persuasions,
Thinking to myself Im only getting stronger,
By learning to cope with these obstacles longer,
People are always going to be talking,
Alongside the road of life Ill keep on walking,
Needing to realize Im all I have when everything else
tends to diminish,
Watching my own back until the finish,
Seeing that checkered flag wave,
As the others place me in my grave.
